Modified SM-3 missiles will be used from a destroyer and cruiser in the Pacific.

Wow, looks like I actually guessed correctly at the likely weapons system.

Yep. You get a gold star on your report card...

I'm thinking the MDA and/or Navy is pushing for this. After all, the test/target missiles they shoot at are expensive. This thing is a freebie. Training aides are where you find them...

Although it doesn't seem like much of a test - the thing has to have the radar cross section of a barn. Then again, maybe it has desirable IR properties (as a target) from being up there and shut down for so long? . . .
